This part of IEC 60076 applies to the following types of reactors:
shunt reactors;
series reactors including current-limiting reactors, neutral-earthing reactors, power flow
control reactors, motor starting reactors, arc-furnace series reactors;
filter (tuning) reactors;
capacitor damping reactors;
capacitor discharge reactors;
earthing transformers (neutral couplers);
arc-suppression reactors;
smoothing reactors for HVDC and industrial application;
with the exception of the following reactors:
reactors with a rating less than 1 kvar single-phase and 5 kvar three-phase;
reactors for special purposes such as high-frequency line traps or reactors mounted on
rolling stock.
Where IEC standards do not exist for small or special reactors, this part of IEC 60076 may be
applicable as a whole or in part.
